Ganondagan's White Corn Project's original founder, John Mohawk (Seneca) whose goal it was to encourage Native farmers to stay on their land and continue growing Iroquois White Corn, believed bringing this important Indigenous food back into Haudenosaunee people's daily diets would greatly improve their health and cultural well-being.

In this 40-minute virtual field trip, students taught by members of the Seneca Nation of Indians, will learn about the cultural significance of White Corn and how it is planted, harvested, and processed and used for a variety of dishes.

BELMONT, NEW YORK (November 10, 2022) -- Cornell Cooperative Extension is excited to announce the release of the New York Equine Hay Survey.



Attention horse owners and hay producers! The Equine Subgroup of the statewide CCE Livestock Program Work Team wants your assistance in understanding hay sales and purchases within the state for horses.



This research study, a partnership with Cornell and Penn State Equine Extension, covers the following objectives:

Characterize hay buying & feeding practices of New York horse owners and preferences impacting these practices.
Determine current hay prices and explore how different factors affect them
Characterize hay producer preferences and practices regarding marketing and selling hay to horse customers
Compare forage testing knowledge and attitudes among horse owners and hay producers
Determine need and desire for extension hay education for horse owners and horse hay producers



The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please give us your input as we seek to collect data on the NY Equine Hay Industry. Your anonymous responses will help us understand the needs of both horse hay buyers and producers and develop appropriate educational products. Exclusively for New York residents, the QR Code and link for the survey may be found on our website at: www.ccelivestock.com/species/equine.



Cornell Cooperative Extension is part of the national extension system, an educational partnership between County, State, and Federal governments. As New York’s land grant university Cornell administers the system in this state. Cornell Cooperative Extension is an equal opportunity, affirmative action educator and employer.

Lycorma delicatula, or Spotted Lanternfly (SLF), is an invasive plant hopper from Asia and is an agricultural pest. In the United States, it was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014. Spotted Lanternfly has been found in New York State on Staten Island, all New York City boroughs, Long Island, Port Jervis, Sloatsburg, Orangeburg, Ithaca, Binghamton, Middletown, Newburgh, Highland, and the Buffalo area. SLF threatens the agriculture and forestry industries, and is also a nuisance pest. The nymphs and adults feed on over 70 different plants, but is especially detrimental to grapes, a black walnut, hops, maple trees and apples. New York State Ag and Markets supported CCE efforts to help bring awareness to communities and we developed this Public Service Announcement and would appreciate you sharing it with your member lists.
